No. 35

[GulPlum]

A word of explanation for those outside Britain:

A few months ago, the BBC did a whole series about "The Hundred Greatest 
Britons" based on a survey run through their web site. (Churchill won):

Not to be outdone, as I type, Channel Four are showing a hight-hearted 
programme of "The Hundred Worst Britons" (based on a survey run through 
their web site a while ago). Guess who's at Number 35? None other but a 
certain fictional teenage wizard!

http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/britons/resul 
ts.html was meant to have the list up by now, but it seems they're late...

(I only caught Number 35 because I was watching something else and switched 
over during a commercial break).

The reasons were particularly stupid, from "encouraging witchcraft" to a 
film reviewer I've never heard of complaining that he couldn't watch the 
whole of the first movie in peace because of the kids in the audience...
